Evacusafe emergency chairs are designed to be operated by a single person, but having a second person is an advantage. The additional person or people may assist by opening doors, warning of obstructions and reassuring the person during the evacuation.

To operate the chair, follow these steps:

Remove the protective cover and place the chair on the ground in a suitable position

Undo the support strap, then open the chair to a seating position, which releases the track mechanism and ensure it is locked into place, then open out the foot rest

Place the support strap over the clients head, then bring over the arm rests

Once the client is in the chair release the brake and make your way to the emergency exit

When set up in wheelchair mode, it will travel over any flat surface smoothly and easily.

Once in position lever the chair back by placing your foot on the green track assembly bar

Manoeuvre the chair forward onto the top two steps

Make sure the track stays in full contact with the stairs by pushing the handle down towards your feet. This will ensure a smooth controlled decent

When the unit reaches the bottom stair/ landing return the chair back to four wheels

We recommend creating and acting out your emergency evacuation plan. It will help you to feel confident with the operation of the chair in the event of an emergency.
